Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez

Tucked away on East Rosedale is this place. It did not disappoint. So I was given a heads up on the wait by our waitress up. The mariachi music gave the place a fantastic vibe.It's quite possibly the best place in town to get Birria. Best Birria tacos and Mexican pizza. Also my first experience with a Torta and it was fantastic. The food was SUPER fresh and had amazing taste. The place was worth the hype and if it's a weekend you need to expect to wait.

If you have not tried this taqueria you are missing out!!!! We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed! We put our name down with the hostess and there was an hour wait. We were going to order drinks at the bar and were able to find a couple of seats! Our bartender was amazing! The name on our tab was Dupree T. He made great recommendations for us newbies. We order a beer and a Cortez mimosa which is a mimosa with tajin. There was a wait after we ordered food, but the bartender and manager continued to check in on us, made sure we had drinks! They were very busy and we didn't mind waiting because it was well worth it!!!! Our food was the sampler and a side order of rice and bean. The sampler is more than enough for two, had plenty of leftovers! All of it was so tasty and delicious! Full of flavor!! Such a great meal!!! We also had an horchata to go!They do have outdoor seating. I don't know if they offer live music every Sunday, but we were lucky enough to have experienced it! The murals were gorgeous and vibrant! I did notice if you pay cash there's a discount, our tab before tip was 78 and if we would have paid cash it would have been 75.

We sat on the enclosed, heated patio at a high top. We were quickly greeted and although we had questions the girl taking our order was not able to help us because of the language barrier. We both laughed and we ordered items we were somewhat familiar with.The food did take a long time to come out but there are tvs and music playing and we sat and watched the place quickly fill up with like minded patrons.I ordered a Paloma with tajen and my son ordered Dr. Pepper Andy husband ordered a Mexican coke. All were accompanied by a glass of ice.We ordered the Birria sliders, the Tapatios Combo, and a Birria taco and a Quesataco. We all ordered the consomme and I ordered avocado slices. The food is amazing!The service is quick and friendly. We saw lots of plates come out with food we will try next time.Go early to get a place to park.

I found this place by looking on Yelp for a good taco spot and wow! The birria was so good I immediately text my friends and family that they needed to come check this place out! I was coming for tacos but decided to order the new item on the menu, the birria sliders and they did not disappoint! The place was packed but the servers were still fast and friendly. They are pretty popular seems like as the stream of people did not stop the entire time we were there. They had loud Mexican music playing in the background which added to the whole ambiance of a traditional and authentic birrieria. It's right off the highway so make sure your paying attention or you'll miss the entry! Trust me you don't want to miss out on these flavors!!!

We made the trip here recently being on that side of town . I really enjoyed my visit ,however it was a nice day to eat outside on the back patio. The food was yummy, the service was above average . They had Nice supply of sauces at the table as well as Spices at the table like Mexican oregano, and crushed red pepper . I was sad to see no chips and salsa . We sat outside where the sun hit us but the day was perfect for it. The cool part was that the waiter Asked if I wanted to sit at another table so the sun doesn't cook us. I thought this was Thoughtful and kind, but refused due to the temps outside. Upon leaving we walked back through the inside noticing it was loud and voice-stress. Glad we sat outside . Later we found out that they were Recently made honorable mention for Michelin star. How cool is that .

I had been craving tacos and since we were in the DFW area, decided to check out this place as it was on the Yelp's Michelin Recommended list. Started off on a terrible foot with the hosts who took down the wrong number even after confirming 3 times, turning our 25 minute wait into over a 40 minute wait. (Also want to shout out the security guard who helped raise this concern to the management team as he saw us waiting for quite some time).When we finally got seated, we were brought to our tables and menus were literally tossed down. Thankfully our server was much nicer but only checked in when passing by. It was definitely busy when we first arrived but by the time we finally got seated, there were several empty tables. I got a strawberry margarita on the rocks which was pleasantly strong. We ordered flautas and a few quesatacos. The plate of flautas with rice came out cold. Thankfully the quesatacos came out hot. They were good but definitely not the best I've had. For a place that mainly serves birria, I would expect a small portion of consommé to be included but we needed to purchase on the side. With that being said, the consommé was probably the best part of the meal, it was full of flavor and a chunk of birria.

First time we went was on a Sunday! Waited an hour and a half but we did have a big group of us (10). Food was delicious and food came out a good time. Oh yeah they have margaritas that are great! Most recently we went on a Tuesday afternoon and got a table right away. We were undecided on what to order so we got the sampler. Able to get a bit of everything. Just wish they had 3 tacos and not just 2! They do charge for water. You get a bottle for a dollar. So bring your own water if you want!

We have wanted to try this place for months. It has a great reputation and many have talked about their Birria tacos. Got here around 5:30 on a Saturday night and it was already busy. We opted for the back patio with bar seating. The bartender was awesome and very attentive. Keep in mind the music is pretty loud so not a great place for quiet conversations. The patio's nice but don't look down at the creek it's kinda nasty.I ordered the two Birria taco plate with rice and beans. My wife ordered the sampler that comes with two Birria tacos, 4 flautas and the Birria pizza. The food came out fairly quickly. I have to say I was really disappointed in the beans and rice. The beans had zero seasoning and it really looked like they came out of a can. The same with the rice. Seasoning would have helped. Likewise, the Birria tacos were OK but not great. Not a lot of seasoning. The flautas were good and the Birria pizza was good. To be very honest for $80 we won't come back.

Be aware and mindful of how busy it is. It all depends on the number of your party. Once arrived they told us 45mins to an 1 hr yet 5 mins passed and they texted us letting us know a table was ready (party of 2) The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food was yummy and just overall the best menudo I have had in the DFW area. Not pictured - 1/2 lb of birria my husband had very trending and worth the hype.

The place was packed on the Saturday that I went. A little hectic and loud, but great food.
